MIR. BLAINE's MAIL.
The Unsolicited Correspondence He
Gets From All Parts of the Country.


Gets From All Parts of the Country.
A gentleman who had close personal re-
lations with Mr.. Blaine durlug the cam
palfn Of 's4 said recently, says the New
York SIN, that one Of the best proofs OF
the undiminlshed personal strength Of MIR.
Blaine has is his daily mail. I'll very large.
1t comes from all sections OF the United
States, and much of IL from people whom
he never knew. 1t seems TO be spontane-
Gus effort on the part OF men who
voted for him, from Maine to Oregon,
to indicate their wish that he be
again q candidate. Besides this demoustra-
tion Of popularity, Mr.. Blaine Is kept con-
stantly advised by unsolicited correspond
ence Of the state of public feeling all over
the Union. The opinions Of good Judges rs
to the political situation find their way
sooner or later to his library, though the
givers Of them never intended them for Mr..
Blaine's ears. or course some OF this Mr..
Blaine diecredits, but the average of opin-
ion that he thus gets he is inclined to put
more or less faith in.
~ myself,n said the gentleman, "without
knowing that Others were doing the sane
thing, have made IL point to write to Mr..
Blaine whenever heard any opinion from q
man competent to Judge Of the political
situation. The other day wrote him what
a gentleman who had some opportunity for
knowing told me; namely, that in his
opinion Blaine would carry New York by
$4,000 majority, at least, II Cleveland was
the opposing candidate. l found out after
ward that Mr.. Blaine had received similar
letters from Others to the same effect. l
am inclined to think that most OF his
correspondents everywhere inform him that
| President Cleveland has lost ground with
the masses Of Democrats. or course, some
| Of this opinion is due to excessive zeal for
| Mr.. Blaine. don't think Mr.. Blaine has
| ever said word to soul that could be
| construed into an intention on his part to
| he again a candidate, but no man could
| receive the mail he does without regarding
| his candidacy as inevitable. And II he Is a
| candidate, | don't know, but / think he
would not greatly regret II the Democrats
| decided to make the race over again with
| Cleveland. believe there has not been an
instance in our history when the defeated
candidate OF one campaign was renominated
and ran again against the successful one,
| In which the tables were not turned. John
| Adams beat Jefferson, and then Jefferson
beat Adams. John Quincy Adams beat
| Jackson, and next time jackson bowed
Mr.. Adams out OF the white house. Van
Buren defeated Harrison, but next time
Harrison Tippecanoed little Van out Of
sight. believe these are the only cases on
record where the candidates Of one cam
paign for the presidency were pitted against
| each other at the next canvass. / shouldn't
| be surprised to see the record renewed next
| year, nor would, l surmise, Mr.. Blame
himself"

"the recommendation Of the judge who SEN
fenced the convict and the present district
attorney, the postmaster under whom he

other persons, and because Of his good

fourths Of his term, his advanced age and
